Boy, did we have fun at our party!  We played really hard all morning, then napped really hard in the afternoon!  It was a great way to celebrate a year full of fun and learning.  Then last Friday we got to have more outdoor fun on the playground for Super Kids Day!  The fun never ends at SPX :)

For our last few days of school (May 21-23, 2012), our theme is Best of Preschool.  We will play with a wide variety of toys and manipulatives from our various themes throughout the year.  We will finish our end-of-the-year books and just have fun being together.

Monday, May 21 is a Free Dress Day.  Wednesday, May 23 is our last day of school!

Many, many thanks for a wonderful year!  Your children are beautiful gifts from God and I have been blessed to spend the past school year with them.  I have enjoyed getting to know each of them and their unique personalities.  We have grown close as a class family and I will miss them!  Thanks for all of your help and support this year.

This week in Preschool (5/14 - 5/18/12) our theme is Creepy Crawlies.  We will be learning about insects and spiders.  We will make honey bees in Art, go on a bug hunt in the Sensory Table, examine real specimens with a magnifying glass, learn about the parts of insects, review our letters and letter sounds, work on end-of-the-year books to take home, and in Religion we will discover that we can thank God with music just like David did.

Tues. May 15 - Preschool Party 9:00 - 12:00 - Wear Spirit Dress, socks and tennis shoes (velcro if possible).
Fri. May 18 - Super Kids Day - Wear Spirit Dress, socks and tennis shoes.

Please send $2.00 for our party if you have not already done so.

Can you believe it's almost the end of the year?  With so much going on in May, I feel like we are winding up and winding down at the same time.

This week in Preschool our theme is Transportation (May 7-11).  We will be making Mother's Day presents in Art, playing with a wide variety of vehicles, playing with boats in water in the Sensory Table (yikes - could be messy!), putting vehicles in graduated order, pretending to take an airplane ride, learning about the letter Z (finally!), and learning how David sang his prayers in Religion.
